2/4 Cavalry: A New Hope

A military science fiction book that is based on David Drake's Hammers Slammers series. It features a collection of short stories that I wrote to design a futuristic vectored-thrust unit acting as mercenaries. More

Set in David Drake's Hammer's Slammers universe (with his gracious permission) this is a story about a vectored-thrust (aircar) unit that I developed while deployed in Afghanistan. Unlike the nominal Hammer's Slammers story this book is set on the planet New Hope, which resembles Afghanistan in a way and features stories related to a planet beset by an insurgency. Stories are a collection of short stories I came up for this book and also relate to real-world experiences taken from the news or some that are personal experiences. This book takes place after The Sharp End as far as chronology goes.

Been writing since I was little, but now going to the mainstream side, since I like my work, and need to see what people think... But... I have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and using that experience with my foray into military science fiction. Currently I have one book off of that, and one based on my flight sim experience.
